Meow Kevin, The cage is inspected and certified, I think it is good to 8.50. I just want to get into the high nines,  and have it stay fun and reliable.

427: Hemis need 8 PCV's with all the blow by...

Jay - I was thinking that if I went with the tunnel ram, it would need something 60's  vintage and different on top of the carbs. Velocity stacks seemed too 70's. Then I remembered that I saw some scoops like this on some 60s show car back in the day, maybe a barris car or something, and a search on ebay turned up this pair. And you're right the Hot ROd class at DW needs dressing up a bit. I'll try!

Heo - a Y block in a Chrysler? Well, that's way better than putting a scrub in it! Have you guys discussed scrubs here?

[Heo]

Yes i built it from leftovers i had laying around
I Think if i use all of its 164.328 truck hp the
et will be lower than 20 sec

Very nice, Joel! Love the carb scoops, the wheels and wide whites. Except for the 4-link, it looks like it's straight out of a '50s Hot Rod. The cage looks pretty darn stout, especially with the double supports at the back. Is that a 392 or 426? 9s in that thing would definitely be....um, interesting

And I have to ask....what is a scrub? That's a new term on me.

Around these parts we don't use the "C" word ( rhymes with heavy ) The word Scrub is substituted. If you look at some of the dictionary definitions I think you will see it is a perfect fit:

Scrub:

An animal of inferior breeding, mongrel.
Anything undersized or inferior.
Stunted or undersized
Composed of substitute  or untrained players ( sports )

Any update Joel? Did you "work at the speed of Brown" and it's ready for DragWeek?
